East shot 8-for-23 from the free-throw line, and coach Danielle Porter counted 22 missed layups.
The Mustangs forced 29 turnovers, but they committed 24 themselves.
“You feel good about your chances when you shoot layups and free throws, but we didn’t make them tonight,” Porter said. “We’re facing some adversity just about every game, and we’re not very good at overcoming it right now. We’ve just got to work on it.”
East is 5-5 overall, but only 2-5 in the SPC. East won the Christmas tournament last season but won’t the one of the high seeds this year. The Mustangs won’t play again before the tournament.
